This part seems really claustrophobic compared to the first couple of issues. And I can't say I'm fond of yet another villain pulling the old Lex Luthor trick. Get her out in space, doing big & wild stuff, that's where the fun is.
There's no 'fun' in the DCnU! You're absolutely right there. I think that's a company directive, that there has to be a threat introduced immediately into each book (preferably with a single word name, apparently).
I like the art. The composition is nice (though layouts are a little confusing) Supergirl looks like a great book. I'm happy DC does at least 2 things right with its female characters
Huh? We're still not up to 'now' in Action Comics, so we don't know what Clark's experienced or not, do we? But ITA about the 'new' ability. Seems a combo of TTK/Heat Vision, so at least it's not coming out of left field.
I like this less than the first two issues. Would it have been out of the question for her to get, say, a tiny bit of orientation, a sense of where she is before we go to the life-threatening, evil villain kidnapping schtick? Or maybe let her get some information from her ship before it starts killing her? Well, apparently it would.
I like the art. Overall, I really like the look of this Supergirl. I haven't been wild about the costume, but it's growing on me a little. I still don't like the red pubic triangle thing. And with the high color, the long sleeves, the high boots, the cape flowing around her -- the bare legs look odd to me, like she forgot to finish getting dressed.
Wow, that was kind of a lot of complaints. I really do like this book, but can't seem to articulate why, exactly.

One, I thought they were going for realism and despite the lack of manned flight space programs aren't going away.
Two, they're doing this when aliens ARE FINALLY SHOWING UP. I'm calling bullshit.
